** UPDATE: Roller Dreams will be screened in L.A. again on October 13, 2017

We have lost one of our O G skaters Duval Stowers, aka Superman. I don’t have
many details except that he had recently been ill. There will be a memorial service for Duval on Friday November 20th at 11AM at McCormick Mortuary 1016 West 164th Street, Gardena, Ca. 90278.

We will be having a Memorial Skate for Duval on Sunday December 6th at 2:00 pm at Skate Dance Plaza. Please wear a Superman T-shirt in his honor.

We have created a Facebook page entitled All about Duval. Many of you have posted pictures heartfelt feelings, thoughts and your experiences with Duval on your Facebook pages .. you may also post them to this special page so that nothing gets lost in the sea of Facebook .. or feel free to share them here.

The memorial was extraordinary, a heartfelt and beautifully executed celebration of Duval’s life. Some of us attended and we were welcomed and honored as Duval’s by his family and other friends.

ROLLERWAYS is a short documentary that surveys the LA roller skating scene and those who populate it. Ranging from the nostalgia of the rink and its charming organ music to the down-and-dirty scene of the roller derby, this film reveals universal truths that should permeate any scene in any city: find your passions, show love to others, live in the present, believe in yourself, and just don’t forget to have a good time. John C. Reilly and Snoop Dogg (aka “DJ Snoopadelic”) make guest appearances along the way.
